“Drew was great with my “quirky” dogs while I was out of town. She took great care of them. She was on time, provided photos, kept me informed, etc. I would definitely use Drew again in the future.”

About: I have fifteen years of pet sitting and care experience, to include drop-ins, walks, feedings, litter box cleaning and overnight stays. When I was little, I wanted to be a veterinarian, and then a zoologist. Neither career panned out, but my love for animals remained. Now I get my fill of furry friends by providing excellent, worry-free care for your pets! As a proud mom of three urban hens, I know how nerve-wracking it is to be away from a beloved pet. That’s why I provide frequent updates and pictures to my clients so that they can go about their workdays or trips without anxiety. I specialize in cats, dogs and birds. I can’t wait to meet your pet! I am currently freelancing part-time, which provides me with an extremely flexible schedule to care for your pets! From walks to drop-ins to overnight stays, I can provide a variety of services to DMV pet owners When in your home whether for a drop-by or overnight stay, I am committed to making your pet feel as comfortable and happy as possible in the absence of their person/people. I follow my clients’ instructions and specifics of their pets’ routines, and follow them closely. I also provide lots of love and cuddles (or love from afar for pets that don’t like to be touched!)
“Spencer & Julia took great care of my cat and provided a ton of photos during their time with him! They offered plenty of pets, treats, and cuddles and gave me peace of mind while I was on vacation!”
“We needed someone on short notice and Alexandria responded immediately. She was friendly, easy to communicate with, and made the process stress-free. She was great with our 8-month-old rescue, Poppy, who’s still adjusting and can be reactive on leash. Alexandria was patient and understanding, handling Poppy thoughtfully. We loved the photos and report card after each visit and would definitely book Alexandria again—Poppy would be happy to see her too!”
“Maria is so thoughtful when taking care of my cat! She provides detailed, fun updates and I can tell my cat enjoys when Maria stops by. Highly highly recommend for someone reliable, timely, and great with cats!”

“Lily was great with my cat Zoey. She took extra time to make sure Zoey had some company- she brought toys out and played YouTube videos of birds and squirrels for Zoey. My cat is not fond of strangers, but took to Lily.”
“Tiffanie was wonderful! She provided detailed notes and lots of pics. My cats tend to be a bit shy/anxious when I’m gone but they seemed to warm up to her quickly :) def will rebook with her in the future.”
“Larissa is a fantastic sitter for your pet/pets! My 2 kitties were very well cared for by Larissa! She gave them the attention they needed and the photos she took showed this! Thank you Larissa!”
“Megan took great care of my senior cat, Betty White! My request was super last minute and Megan was a lifesaver. She was super communicative and was able to do my cats medication as well. Will definitely use her again!”

“hillary did a great job with my three kitties! :) she also went above and beyond and helped me out with my litter robot that was having problems. would definitely trust her and book her in the future!”
“Andre was the best!! So attentive, always sent me photos of Freddie, and was a huge hit. He was juggling a few other pets during the same time but never made me worry about if Freddie was taken care of. THANK YOU, Andre!”
“Catherine went above and beyond for our drop-in visits! I was so happy to leave George in good hands, with great walks and playdates with her dog Winston! Thank you so much for everything you do!!”
About: I’ve helped to take care of cats my since I was a young kid and have gotten more experience in caring for dogs over the last few years. I’ve always loved animals, and I am a very meticulous person so I will pay great attention to make sure your pet(s) and home are well cared for. I worked for a few years as a scientist prior to starting medical school last year, so attention to detail is a skill I’ve learned to hone. I’m currently on break from school, so I have a fairly free schedule at the moment. Once my classes start again I’d like to move into something I can do more so in the mornings or evenings, but my schedule will still be more flexible than a typical 9-5. I am a very detail-oriented and meticulous person, so I will pay attention to make sure that your pet and home are safe and secure.
Riverwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Maia was absolutely fantastic! She was super communicative and sent a bunch of adorable photos and lengthy notes with updates on my cats. I have two little anxious babies and she was so good about making sure they took their meds and I could see from the photos how relaxed they were around her. When I came home they weren’t even mad at me for being gone! Would 10/10 recommend!
I had a great experience meeting with Fernanda during our meet and greet. She's friendly, professional, and took the time to get to know both me and my cat (even though she was hiding!). I appreciated how thoughtful she was in asking questions about my cat's routine, preferences, and care needs. It was clear she genuinely cares about animals and wants to provide the best possible care. The meet and greet left me feeling confident and comfortable about leaving my cat in her care. I would absolutely recommend Fernanda to other pet parents looking for a reliable and attentive sitter!
A well deserved 5star review! I had an emergency with my cats, when I called her to come help, she arrived incredibly fast. Not only did she handle the urgent issue perfectly, but what really impressed me was how proactive she was. She went above and beyond to take care of my cats. She is incredibly reliable and gave me such peace of mind. I will absolutely reach out to her again next time!
